a mixed experience, some issues noted

unlocked entrance dooruncomfortable mattress
The entrance door was unlocked, anyone could access the hallways! this felt unsafe because i had to leave my room for the bathroom. the website did not clearly state that bathrooms are not in all rooms unless you pay for a family room. also, the mattress was uncomfortable. I could feel every spring.

The staff seemed nice initially. However. The room I booked lacked an en-suite bathroom. The mattress was uncomfortable. I could feel every spring, and the peeling wallpaper added to the sense of neglect. It was not a pleasant experience
